Madonna's 'American Life' CD Marketing Plan

The title track from Madonna's new 'American Life' CD is being made available for download via the Internet as an MP3 file for $1.49.

�I think we�re going to see more and more artists approach the selling of their music this way in the future,� said Michael Paoletta, an editor at Billboard magazine. �This is only the beginning of what will become a major way to get the music out there, to get the music heard, to in essence sell the music to the consumer.�

Somehow I think, for quite some time, people are going to continue to find their music online for free. Hackers are having their say on this too. [via MSNBC]
